I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

CHORUS
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got, oh yeah
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

CHORUS
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

INSTRUMENTAL

What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine, I got rain

CHORUS
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind

Now I'm a believer -- yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaheayeahuh

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind

Stream-Of-Consciousness Reactions

First of all, I bought the "Shrek" CD thinking that it had that cool Neil Diamond song. Instead, it was the slower, laid-back version. I grew to like it. But this version is definitely preferable. Smash Mouth really does remakes justice. "Why Can't We Be Friends," "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby," and now this. I see why others think that Smash Mouth had sold out. But you shouldn't deny the powerful pop/rock/funk/soul/lounge writing sensibilities and talents of Smash Mouth! What can I say, I AM A BELIEVER! And a kiss ass, apparently.....
